Debbie was a middle-school principal When Phelps's parents divorced in 1994, he and his siblings lived with their mother, with whom Michael grew very close Even at the age of 7, Phelps was still a little scared to put his head under water, so his instructors allowed him to float around on his back Not surprisingly, despite the fact that later he is very good at butterfly swimming, the first stroke he mastered was not the easily-practised breaststroke but the backstroke At the age of 15, Phelps became the youngest American male swimmer to compete at an Olympic Games in 68 years While he didn't win any medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, he would soon become a major force in competitive swimming In the spring of 2001, Phelps set the world record in the 200-meter

questions Theresa May, the second female Britain's prime minister following Margaret Thatcher, revealed in 2013 that she had been given a diagnosis of Type I diabetes, a condition that requires daily insulin injections Asked later how she felt about the diagnosis, she said her approach to it was the same as toward everything in her life: "Just get on and deal with it." That kind of steeliness brought her to center stage in the aftermath of Britain's vote to leave the European Union and the feuding that erupted in the Conservative Party over who would succeed David Cameron Ms May, 59 years old, is the country's longest-serving home secretary in half a century, with a reputation for seriousness, hardwork and above all, determination She is one of a growing number of women in traditionally male-dominated British politics rising to the upper position of leadership Born in 1956, Ms May grew up mainly in Oxfordshire, an only child who was first drawn to the Conservative Party at age 12 As a conscientious student, she never rebelled against her religious upbringing and remains a regular churchgoer Tellingly, her sports hero was Geoffrey Boycott, a solid, stubborn cricketer who specialized in playing the long game Like many other Britain's prime minister including Tony Blair, Sir Robert Peel and Margaret Thatcher, she won a place at Oxford But while almost every other political leader got there by way of Eton College and joined Oxford's hedonistic Bullingdon Club, she attended a state secondary school and had a more sedate university career After unsuccessful attempts to be elected to the House of Commons in 1992 and 1994, she finally became an MP in 1997 general election May is known for a love of fashion and in particular distinctive shoes She even wore leopardprint shoes to her final Cabinet meeting as Home Secretary in early 2016 However, she has been quite critical of the media focusing on her fashion instead of her achievement as a politician May also describes cooking and walking as primary hobbies, and if someone is raising questions about why walking can be classified as a hobby, she elaborates in a column for Balance magazine, in which she wrote of her battle with diabetes 123 According to the passage, who is the prime minister coming before Theresa May?
